KENTUCKY KNOWLEDGE,

Up to Saturday September 10th, the shcr-
IFS of eighty-twO counties had paid into the
State Treasury on this, their largest payment
prescribed by the new revenue law, 81 $685.
63675. Of this amount $295,00 came from
Jefferson, 100000 from Fayette, $4,000 from
KentOn, $685. 900 from Bourbon, $3S, 009 from
Mason and $3i, 200 from WOOdfOrd county
There are thirty seven counties yet to re-
port, and it is thought that when full returns
are in the sum will aggregate about 81 49,
600. The largest similar payments under
the old law were 1923, 547 80 for 1885, and
1914, laos for 1856. 1t must not be supposed
though that all this large sum can be de-
voted to the payment ofthe current expenses
of the Government, for 1886, 7,02 of the
amount goes TO the support of the schools,
1913, 1922 to the sinking fund and s., 229. 33
to the A. and NJ. College at Lexington. Out
of the remainder is to be drawn the heavy
idiotic burden on the State of 100000 per
annum, and the large and necessary apprO-
pratiOns to the maintenance of the insane,
blind, deaf and dumb and feebleminded in
stitutions.
The long looked for proposition to Bath
county To subscribe 100000 to the capital
stock OF the Paris, Georgetewn and Frank
fort railroad has at last been made, and the
citizens of that county are happy. The
County Court, consisting of fourteen magis-
trates and the county judge, will be called
together on the 18th of this month for the
purpose of submitting the question TO vote
| Of the people The proposition, as outlined
| by Judge Lindsay, requires the county to pay
| $4,000 of the amount when the road shall
have been built and trains RAINING on it
| from Frankfort to within one mile Of Owings-
| vile, $50, 900 more when the road reaches a
point nine miles further east, and the bal
ance when trains are run to the eastern line
of the county. This subscription is to be
! paid in bonds bearing per cent. interest
| There is a case near Augusta that is at
| tracing the attention, and to a considerable
extent the curiosity, of the medical fratern-
! ity. Willis Dugan, residing several miles
from here, had a long spell of sickness the
past summer, and had recovered, when sores
began to break out all over his body. These
gradually healed, but instead of disappear
| ing as they did mt first, they changed to boiis
and became very hard. Mr.. Dugan's body
is'now covered with these hard places, that
| feel like marbles beneath the skin, and as
| they are enlarging, the doctors say they are
| liable at any time to touch the heart or
some other vital organ, and thus cause in
Simultaneous death. Ii is given up to be a
very remarkable and incompreheusible case,
and as such is attracting great attention.

ending of a trouble that has so long disturbed
this communicable Sterling Gazette.

execution of James f.. Aeee at Lexington
November 4th, for the murder Of Jas. Fail

decided adversely rendered necessary the
